Skyfire Web Browser 4.0

Skyfire 4.0 is our 'Classic' version, with video transcoding support for users that have purchased that feature. This feature is no longer being made available for purchase.

For users who like our toolbar, we suggest you try out Skyfire 5.0!

Skyfire Web Browser 5.0 for Android will not support Flash video as we focus on newer operating systems and as more video publishers design their videos to play on Android devices.

If you bought the premium version of Skyfire for Android in the past to watch Flash video, don't worry – it will continue to work on devices that have not updated to ICS and Jelly Bean OS.
